Hopefully Asanjani and Razzaq's Injuries Are Not Serious / Fariba: I Pray for Esteghlal's Two Stars

Behtash Fariba believes that despite the importance of Yasser Asanjani's goal, Esteghlal must keep a close eye on the physical condition of this winger.

According to "Varzeh Se", Esteghlal managed to defeat Qatar's Al Gharafa with a score of 2-1 in one of its important matches in the Asian Elite League and gained three more valuable points. The blue-skinned people achieved this victory when Yaser Asani, the influential winger of the team, started the game from the bench and entered the field in the 37th minute, a substitution that quickly paid off and changed the course of the match.

After entering the field, Asani opened the goal of Al-Gharafa with a spectacular shot and gave Esteghlal the lead. Although the Qatari team continued to draw, Hossein Gudarzi once again put the Blues ahead so that Esteghlal finally left the field with a score of 2-1. However, the injury of Amir Mohammad Razzaqinia during the match affected the sweetness of this victory to some extent and raised concerns about this player's condition.

After the match, the reporter of "Varzesh Se" conducted an interview with Behtash Fariba, veteran of Esteghlal. Referring to the importance of this victory, he said: "Estiqlal played an important game and fortunately was able to win." A win is very important in the Asian Elite League, especially when the team can maintain its focus during the match and get back into the game after conceding a goal. Esteghlal did not get confused mentally after Al-Gharafa scored the equalizing goal and managed to score the second goal. This issue is very important for the continuation of the competition."

Esteghlal veteran praised the performance of Esteghlal and the team's technical staff and added: "Congratulations to the good and unassuming team of Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh. They really planted flowers."

Fariba continued to discuss the impact of Yasser Asani's arrival; A player who, despite starting the match from the bench, showed his abilities very soon and scored Esteghlal's first goal with a spectacular shot. He said about this winger: "Asani is a player who has high individual abilities and can make a difference in one third of the opponent's field. He has good shooting power and when in the right position, he can finish the job with one shot. The beautiful goal he scored against Al-Gharafa showed what quality he has and how effective he can be for Esteghlal."

However, he emphasized that an easy return to the lineup should be accompanied by caution and that the coaching staff should not risk the player's health simply because of his importance. Fariba continued: "Before the game, I said that we should not take unnecessary risks for his return, because the place of his injury was sensitive and the aggravation of the injury could make the situation difficult for Esteghlal. Now his physical condition should be checked carefully. The important thing is that Asani can continue playing without any problems and be available to the team in the next matches. Esteghlal needs a player of his quality, but the risk of his injury again should not be ignored in order to use a player."

The veteran of Esteghlal also said about the reaction of the blue-clad team after receiving the equalizing goal and Hossein Guderzi's second goal: "In such matches, it is important for the team to maintain its calm after scoring a goal and not leave its schedule. Esteghlal did this and was able to score again. The second goal was very important, because it made the team take the lead again and finally get the three points. "This victory can help the players mentally."

One of the worrisome events of this match was the injury of Amir Mohammad Razzakinia, a player whose condition after the game has become one of the concerns of Esteghlal's technical staff and fans. Fariba said: "Istiqlal's win was very heartwarming and we were happy about this win, but Razzakinia's injury really made us bitter. When we see a young player who works with motivation for his team and suddenly faces such an incident, it is natural to worry about him. At this critical stage and considering the intensity of the competition, Esteghlal needs all its players more than ever. From the bottom of my heart, I hope Razakinia's injury is not serious, we are all worried about her and praying for her."
